Bonterra Chardonnay'03, Mendocino County, USA

Organic wines from organic vineyards and grapes! Still contains some sulfites but less than the usual wines. Really creamy chardonnay not overoaked!

Bonterra Chardonnay


Technical Data:A delicious 100% Chardonnay barrel-fermented and organic from Mendocino County in California.

Description:Pale straw yellow color. Green apple, lemon-citrus and crème brûlée like aromas followed by ripe pear and toasty-oak vanilla. Creamy texture and finely balanced acidity add weight and lingering freshness to the palate. The key to this wine is its great balance … not overoaked, but enough to just enjoy it.

Food Pairing & Service:Try with sautéed seafood, shellfish or chicken dishes. This wine is also perfect with mushroom pastas or the richness of fettuccine Alfredo.

Score:8/10

Suggested Retail Price:$11.99
